In Zope, ZSQL methods return objects that behave like a
sequence (of hit rows).
In Python, an empty sequence is false while a non-empty sequence
is true.
Thus, you can use:
<dtml-if "ZSQLmethod(....)">
....
to test any SQL query for a non-empty result set.
The "_.len(...)" function returns the length of a sequence,
in case you are interested in the number of hits.
